See, what I always wanted (and rode only once) was the Yamaha 650 twin - the "Triumph Bonneville" from Japan. It has nothing to do with speed or power, it was just a reliable version of the English bike.
Of course, now you can buy the real thing in an update, reliable, non-oil-dripping version - they are building them again.... for about $8000 !
Is THAT retro or what?
